Hey all. Freewillin Franklin here. Tonight I am celebrating 20 years in Radio. I have a great interview with Katie Na, she is with Stop Billionaire Summer and will talk about how ICE is using Palantir, an AI system to monitor and track people, especially our immigrant brothers and sisters. This is the same system used in Palestine to track people for bombing and missle stikes in Gaza. I'll also flashback to some of my first radio pieces. KPFA is in the middle of the Summer Fund Drive, so, I am asking if you can donate 20 dollars for my 20 years of coverage of important topics like Palestine, drone warfare, police terror and even local politics. Tune in to KPFA Radio tonight at 7pm Pacific Time on 94.1 FM or kpfa.org and help me celebrate 20 years by making a donation between 7 and 8 PM tonight.
